The Cowboys will have QB Matthew McKay at their rookie minicamp later this week

[RustyBourneHorse]

Seems a little Dak-like in his ability.

Might be why he's being brought in as a scout team QB.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

He somehow went from NC St, to Montana St, to Elon. I don’t know the reasoning behind it, but something seems off to transfer that many times to successively smaller schools.

I mean, this is the time to kick the tires, but, he probably will just end up like Showers.

Don’t know the story but it’s not hard to surmise that he had to keep going down in competition until he found the level he could actually compete at and wouldn’t be replaced as the starter by the newest QB recruit.

this excites me

Dobby is pleased...Dobby is REAL pleased

Elon musk has an university?

 

[DZSierra]

What in the world is an Elon?

Never mind, I googled it.

Elon University.....they have a football team.

It's actually a nice school, about an hour from me. Look up college education costs for today and I have no clue how kids expect to make money with a 150k plus debt out of the gate for a 4 year degree.

 

[Desperado]

Hope he brings that pocket with him.

 

[Rayman70]

Poor man's Steve McNair with his motion and style. He might even make it to Oxnard as a camp body. But no further.

 

[gimmesix]

Mehhh just another camp body that won't get a true chance of earning a spot on this team.

There are a few players from these tryouts over the years that have been signed and went on to have NFL careers. Charvarius Ward immediately comes to mind.

Excerpt from him leaving Montana State from the source you listed (for those who won't click on the link):

McKay, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound junior, completed 153 of 246 passes (62.2%) for 2,021 yards, 16 touchdowns and three interceptions. He’s also second on the team with 316 rushing yards on 78 attempts with two touchdowns.

McKay has started every game this year. His teammates praised him for his work ethic, particularly his dedication to watching film. He was among the top quarterbacks in the FCS in passing efficiency at points in the season.


However, his last game at Montana resulted in him completing 12 of 25 passes for 108 yards with one touchdown. It was his fourth time in five games he passed for less than 150 yards.

From his first six games compared to his final five, his passing yards per game were cut nearly in half (224 to 112.8). His completion percentage also dipped by nearly 13% (67.9% to 55%).

Damn, I bet Daks squirming in his pants.

They would never sign anybody here that would be real competition at the QB position while Dak is here.

Give us just one example of when that’s happened?

Don’t borrow 150k so one can get a degree in ridiculous things like “Cultural Leadership and Inequity” and expect to have people beating down your doors to hire them.

Those people usually wind up blaming the rest of society, dont pay back their loans and wind up living back with mommy and daddy…..or move to Hawaii to sponge off the man

welcome to the last 3 years

Why would they if they already have a stud at QB?

 

[shabazz]

Why would they if they already have a stud at QB?

Ever hear of depth at a position?
Ever hear that completion brings out the best in a person?

your response proves that you put Rayne Dakota 1st and the good of the team 2nd

 

[Pantone282C]

Elon University's freshman applicants sport an average GPA of 4.04, an average SAT score of 1233, and an ACT average of 27 - with a 71% admission application rate. Not quite Emory or Duke territory, but most of their students are not there for basket weaving classes. Highly touted academics.
l wonder what the combined GPA of the football team is?

 

[Roadtrip635]

They need a camp arm, so give him a look while he's here.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Matthew McWho?

Did we really think they were gonna bring someone in who would shatter Dak's confidence and ego, or whatever is left of it?
Push him, or intimidate him.? Fragile. This is why he don't get any better, and actually regresses .

No surprise. Probably just camp fodder so as not to wear out the other's arms.

 

[Mr_437]

Thanks for the visuals.
I think he has something, I don't know if it's NFL something but I like his arm talent, maybe the UDFA WRs and Schoon can get a good look in rookie camp.

 

[TexasBoys2288]

Anyone can make a highlight reel.

 

[Havic]

Is this the new Jameil Showers?

Thought we were set at safety
